In-the-Day Jan and Lew tubed on the Salt River (Az). Jan wouldeven tube from the Outhouse back to our Camp.People Tube on the Platte River (Sleeping Bear DunesNational Lakeshore).Needless to say Jan wanted to do it too.There is a store in Empire,Mi (10Mi from the Platte River CG)that sells Tubes.There is also a Diner in Empire known for it's Fish Sandwich.That's all Lew needed to hear.So this morning off we went.No PIC of the Beerbatter Dipped Deepfried Whitefish Sandwich....because Lew ate it soooo quick.

But here is a PIC of the Tube Store.See the Tube?In-the-Day we used old car-tire-innertubes.This spell-checker doesn'teven know the word.

In the Drink with Jan and the Tubes(at the put-in spot on the Platte).

Jan waited while Lew drove Ms Dolphin down to the take-out spotat the mouth of the Platte where it flows into Lake Michigan andthen, leaving her there, bicycled back up to the put-in-point.Jan and Lew then enjoyed a leisurely and thoroughlyenjoyable Tube down the Platte to it's Mouth where...Ms Dolphin was Patiently Waiting.
